I am about to register with First Money Transfer.

Is anyone using them?

Will be sending funds to KTB in Udon.

Hi
Why not just use your bank, it's the safest way.
Especially if there is a stuff up, we have lost a couple of transfers due to the wrong account numbers being entered at either end, and no problems, we were able to get it sorted out which I don't think you would get with a transfer company.

I transfer money every month from my bank in Australia to my Thai bank for a 20 dollar fee regardless of amount. Never had a problem in 10 years. Seems alot safer than a transfer company. IMO.

Must admit my Commonwealth Bank Int transfer fee of $22 AUD is a safe way and has security to go with it.

Whats the fees for the FMT and do they convert before they send to Thailand, or does it go via US eg,

Beware of non institutional transfers, etc, Western Union exempted.

Thanks for the replies.

I have had a look at the Commonwealth Bank Web site I cannot find this Fee of $20 or $22.

There is a Fee of $28 plus other bank Fee for a Telegraphic Transfer.

I also looked at the rates they are more than half a Baht below First Money Transfer and more than 1 Baht less than the SCB Transfer for Notes.

Does the Commonwealth Bank neg Fees and Transfer Rates?

I currently only have accounts with BankWest their rates are O/A.

I spoke to a mate he said it can take up to a week for a Telegraphic Transfer to go through.

First Money Transfer say the money will be there on the same day.

Transferred money from CBA yesterday to my Thai account. The internet charge for this International transfer is $22 AUD.

The money arrived in my Thai bank account today.

yes the fee is $28 if you go into a branch, do it on line is cheaper, I have a Oz debit card that I used here able to with draw 20,000B at a time fee is $5 every with drawal, so depends how much a month you want to with draw, Swift wire transfer via bank or the inter net is best for large sums.

for small amounts monthly a debit card is the best, my GF uses my card here when I go back to OZ

looks like ur debit card will now attract the Thai 150 baht tax, per transaction
